iPhone Ultra 3D-printed hinge problems reportedly solved, ready for September launch

Apple's first foldable iPhone looks like it's actually happening this fall — supply chain sources say the tricky 3D-printed hinge module that had people nervous is now sorted and production is moving forward. This is the kind of device that changes what a phone can be, so if you've been watching the foldable space and wondering when Apple would show up, the answer is apparently September. Take supply chain reports with the usual grain of salt, but the converging signals are hard to ignore.
